pyöritelläkseen

The Finnish word "pyöritelläkseen" is the third infinitive form of the verb "pyöritellä". This form is typically used to express purpose or a reason for an action. It can be translated into English in various ways depending on the context, such as "in order to spin", "to spin", or "for spinning". The base verb "pyöritellä" itself means to spin, roll, or rotate something repeatedly or in a casual manner. Therefore, "pyöritelläkseen" indicates the purpose for which something is being done, and that purpose involves the action of spinning or rolling. For instance, one might say "Hän osti uuden pallon pyöritelläkseen sitä" which translates to "He bought a new ball in order to spin it". The particle "-kseen" attached to the infinitive stem "-kseen" signals the third infinitive, often implying a subject performing the action for their own benefit or intention. Understanding this grammatical structure is key to comprehending the nuances of Finnish verbal constructions indicating purpose.
